Jul 31, 2024 | Both Sides of the Issue

Does capitalism make us more free or less? Does it leave us at the mercy of employers and big corporations, or does it respect our ability to make our own choices? What is economic freedom? Should it be treated differently from other types of freedom? We learn about two opposing perspectives in this edition of Both Sides of the Issue.
